From the out­set, I have viewed the Bol Processor project as a research endeav­or rather than a straight­for­ward soft­ware design project. Its focus is on com­pu­ta­tion­al musi­col­o­gy, which involves using com­pu­ta­tion­al mod­els to explore musi­col­o­gy across and beyond cul­tur­al boundaries.

The research nature of this project neces­si­tates an open-access eth­ic. As such, the Bol Processor — includ­ing its instal­la­tion and source files — will remain freely acces­si­ble. Software devel­op­ers are encour­aged to reuse the source code to cre­ate vari­ants or updat­ed ver­sions of BP3.

However, there is a prac­ti­cal rea­son why I have cho­sen not to decline per­son­al dona­tions: I am increas­ing­ly incur­ring costs for var­i­ous tools required for soft­ware devel­op­ment. These include host­ing fees, the remu­ner­a­tion of "vir­tu­al" assis­tants (AI tools), and, when nec­es­sary, human experts.

For this rea­son, if you are so inclined, you can make a dona­tion using the PayPal link below. Any funds not used for project relat­ed activ­i­ties will be trans­ferred to charities.
